Analysis Of Multi-Chiplet Package Designs And Requirements For Production Test Simplification
By Vineet Pancholi - 21 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 1

In recent years there has been a sharp rise of multi-die system designs. Numerous publications targeting a large variety of applications exist in the public domain. One presentation [2] on the IEEE’s website does a good job of detailing the anecdotal path of multi-die systems by way of chiplet building blocks integrated within a single package [2]. The presentation includes references to a ha... » read more
